William writes "I'm working on SQL Server 2k in Windows 2003 with sp3.
Just after installation I checked that the TCP/IP protocol is enabled under the
server properties and then I tried to Telnet into port 1433. On this one
particular box I get back the following:

C:\>telnet localhost 1433
Connecting to localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port
1433: Connect failed.

For comparison I tested telnet on a couple other machines and I get back a
blank window ready for my commands, as I'd expect.

I've checked the firewall settings and other IP Filtering settings to see if
any of those were blocking traffic to 1433... nothing. I've triple checked
the SQL Server settings for any "problems" and nothing jumps out at me.

Also I can't register this server. It gives message as "SQL server doesn't exist or access denied..."

I can't regiser sql server on same computer if I can't give name as (Local).

Any ideas?

Thanks "

I had this problem when I was trying to register a named instance thinking it was the default and i did not give the servername/instancename parameter try that !!!
as for the port 1433 this is just the default and it is possible that this port has been changed ! look in the Server network utility to see if the default has been changed.
